Get Places with Google Maps Navigation

I’m not going to lie, I have an awful sense of direction. I get lost going to the bathroom.   The only places I can really get to, without any difficulty is my house, my fiance’s home, and my parents house where I grew up.   That’s it. Three places.  I don’t make this admission out of

Network Speed Test: AT&T vs. Verizon vs. T-Mobile

With all the carrier mudslinging going around recently, it’s easy to lose track of what matters most when it comes to mobile devices.  Network strength where you live/work and speed.  While I can’t go to each of your houses individually and test the signal (although that would be quite fun) I can compare the 3G

BlackBerry Storm 2 vs. Storm 1

The most notable (and hated) feature of the original BlackBerry Storm was its SurePress screen. Many users complained that the keyboard input was inaccurate as a result of the SurePress sensor because it required the user to type each key slower, as to allow the screen to pop back up after each depression.
